rimbaud on a tee
I'm not a big T-shirt wearer but this design called Pense Pas Bete by Adrien Baptiste caught my eye. I would love to see it applied to a poster or postcard. It illustrates the writing of rebellious French poet Arthur Rimbaud. Luckily, one Threadless blogger decided to offer a bunch of translations.
I don't always agree with Rimbaud (I don't necessarily think that my death will be the best moment in my life), but here are some lines that I like, and so much prettier in French:
La vraie beauté est si particuliére qu'on ne la reconnait pas pour la beauté.
Real beauty is so special that it is not recognized as beauty.
L'art se dessine à travers le regard.
Art is created through a look (or eyes).
